Guys which color would you recommend. Both color has one advantage and one disadvantage like: Black color G6 is fingerprint magnet but front is more immersive with hidden black border. Platinum color has black thin border around screen. However back is less prone to smudges.
I wanna know how is the look and feel. Is there is any difference. I didn't find any topic related to color so made one:silly:

I'm not sure you are going to get a conclusive answer here.
Personally I went for the Platinum. I don't use a case and thought the platinum/silver would hold up better over time, also all of my phones have been black so I thought I would have a change this time. I'm very happy with my decision, although I would say the black probably looks nicer when it's clean.
The only real way you are going to be able to make a decision though is by going to a store and looking at both.

The paint on the aluminum on the black one also chips so have that in mind. I've had both colors. First a platinum and now a black one. It's hard to pick a favorite but black just "always works". Though the silver front can reflect light pretty nicely at times.

The grip is just fine! Feels good in the hand. Though the back is a smudge magnet and feels greecy. Going to Dbrand mine.
The black paint on the aluminum will go off if you hit the sides of the aluminum. Making silver spots on the black paint. In a while it could get potentially ugly and look like wear and tear.

I think all manufacturer should add black front only. Other colors like white, silver or gold effect the viewing experience and looks bad. My HTC 10 topaz gold was having white front bezels with similar black borders around screen, so I added black color orzly tempered glass instead of white one to make it look black lol it works

I was not a fan of the platinum until I saw it for real. I wanted it when I saw it but it turned out I could only get black anyway. I am glad I did. The all-black front looks better to me and I like the darker coating on the aluminum edge too. Of course the platinum back looks better and there is no coating on the aluminum to wear off. To me the decider there is which part of the phone I will be looking at 99% of the time. But for others the decider will be which part of the phone OTHER people will be looking at.
Ultimately I'd say you wouldn't regret either though so I wouldn't agonize over it too much.
I wanted white, but it turns out that the white one is gold/pinkish so I took a look at the grey and the black one... The grey "looks" cheaper than the black one imo, but that might not be important to you.
I really like white phones because I have sweaty hands and I leave a lot of smudges on black phones. You can't tell on white ones.
The main reason I went with the black is because there is a black border around the screen... its very obvious on the white and grey phones but on the black one its invisible! It would have annoyed the living hell out of me...
I'd suggest you go look at all 3 variants in person and decide there... I was really close to purchasing the girly white one online, hopefully i didn't.
Thanks! guys for all your input. I am really loving G6 community. Good phone, good people

My wife & I each got a new G6. She went with platinum and I with black so we could easily tell whose phone was whose... And then she went out & got a "cute" (read obnoxious) case so it didn't matter anyway.
I am using titanium/silver variant, and its dam good
Hey buddy, its been a while i am using LG g6 silver, The problem u r talking about the border, i never notice it on a normal usage, I just notice when I read any article stating this issue and then my eyes intentionally focus on black border, Silver looks really classy and I recommend it.
But if u like black and the only reason it is a fingerprint magnet, then u can buy cover or dbrand cover for ur LG g6, which will look awesome on black lg g6. And anyways the drop test isn't so impressive as u must have seen on youtube. You won't keep your phone without cover anyway.

Double thought about the color here too...
I wanted to buy the platinum one at first, but the thing is that my carrier only have black one. So after a few articles and YouTube videos, it turns out black is also a good deal, in some segments maybe even better then platinum? I'll just have to take care of the back (skin or cover), right?
clearly a personal choice
I saw that video also, black is a finger print magnet, wanted platinum anyway, so that's what I got. Happy with it.
One thing additionally though, the question about 'how it feels', some say 'good size' etc, I agree, except one thing, this phone is slick as snot. Slickest damn phone I've ever had. You really want to use a deliberate grip, it will surprise with how slippery it can be.
Love it though, awesome phone
I too wanted a platinum, but was not in stock. Ended up getting the blue one with the black front, best of all worlds I'd say!
Black is always the best

Bought one of each, gave my wife the choice of which one she wanted. She chose the platinum. Now I'm kind of wishing I hadn't offered her the choice. The black looks like any other phone; the platinum looks rich and classy.
I’ve just ordered the black. Look forward to receiving it tomorrow

Which one looks less 'cheap'? From the pics it looks like the white version looks prettier, but what about in person?
Currently I'm leaning for the white version, which one have bought or will buy?
Two reasons why i dont buy white electronics...
1. As you said white is prettier and in the eyes of many...because its "pretty" it can also be considered girly or feminine. So unless u are a girl...
2. White electronics can turn a slight yellow and shows dirt and grime over time .
If u dont care about either, then by all means...
Grey cause there is a 32gb version and white is more girly and can be mistaken for iPad, 2 negatives there

It does. I love the white with silver trim. This looks better than Ipad, IMO
The primary problem with white is that Samsung uses soft plastic which soaks up dirt fast. My white Galaxy S II is filthy and wont clean up. It's like the dirt is IN the plastic.
Anyway I'm gonna put this in a black case anyway so the point is moot.

Lotsa love for the white -- I took one look at a store demo of the white unit and hated it. The silver trim just really didn't sit well with me. Between that and having seen the dirty white plastic effect on other stuff, I went with the grey -- and I'm a girl (if that really means anything).

ETA - I got gray. Classy and hides dirt.
I like contrast: I like the white border better when the screen is displaying something dark and the gray border better when the screen is displaying something primarily light in color. At first that made it seem impossible to pick. Luckily, I wanted a 32GB version and, right now, it only comes in gray.
I have the graphite (its not gray) and it doesnt look "cheap" at all. It looks like a nice tablet. I have never unserstood this whole "cheap look and feel"business some reviewers are citing. I prefer a softer feeling case than the heavy rock hard iPad. Im looking for a tablet i hold in my hands, not a cheese slicer.

Once and for all: casing is NOT plastic, it's polycarbonate ! This mat is used in air- and spacecraft building, is extremely light, durable and FLEXIBLE. and gives (at least me) a better haptic feeling ( I hated the brick-like feeling of my wife's iPad and now she loves the feeling of her N10.1 more too)
Depending on the type of coulouring some types could get yellowish under strong UV-radiation but who leaves a Note10.1 for days and weeks in flashing sunlight ?
The entire front is sealed by gorilla-glass so no way to get dirty or scratched (which makes cleaning insuff)
My SGSIII is in white ( I had no choice since 32GB had priority) and I had no choice with my Note10.1 here in Austria which is available only in white and unfortunately only 16 GB.
But they fit together nicely, my SGSIII and Note10.1 and do not look girlish at all. BTW : the only colour I could consider as somehow " girlish " would be pink ............:laugh:
The funny thing is that most people will put their SGN in a case anyway so the color doesnt really matter anyway. I have my white SGS2 in a black case lined with black felt and the white back stained a grayish color - probably from the heat touching the felt.

I read a review from a major online publication which said the Galaxy Note 10.1 felt very cheap as if it would break in half in your hands.
Seriously, what was he smoking? My SGN101 doesn't flex or creak or feel even remotely cheap. It is light but you would have to be the damned incredible hulk to break it in half with your bare hands. I guess he prefers the iPad3 which can double as a cheese slicer in a pinch?
Sometimes you gotta wonder.
P.S., His overall thoughts on the Note were thumbs down mainly because you could get a higher res screen at the same price point. The fact that the S-Pen completely transforms this from a toy to a daily use tool was completely lost on him apparently.
The review was basically: "It feels cheap, flimsy and the screen sucks. Oh yeah, it has this pen thingy but I doubt anyone will use that..."
You can always tell an iPad fanboy from a mile away.

This seems to be the overall case with reviewers on the Note 10.1 -- the usefulness of the s-pen is lost, because apparently, the iPad has made it such that tablets are not tools, they are consumption-only devices and all must be judged on that criteria alone (hence, why the screen res is far more important to these people than how well the s-pen works).
My ONLY complaint about the build of the Note would be in how slippery the plastic/casing is! =P Without a case on it yet, I worry that I'm going to have butterfingers one day and drop the damn thing. I need to get a case, pronto.
My Note doesn't feel cheap at all, either -- nor does it flex any or creak when you try to flex it. The overall build quality is perfectly fine. Somehow I think reviewers were looking for a reason to trash the Note, or they are just looking at it all wrong. I can't decide which. All I know is... apparently, they don't know what they're missing. And to that, I say, too bad for them! I'll get over my not-so-nice relationship with touchwiz (and really, with ICS and the ability to disable system bloat -- you can hamstring touchwiz anyways!).
I ordered the white version. Goes along with my white iPad 3.
I live in Hawaii and avoid dark colors when possible because of the sun.

First I got the white one, did like it-matched my white SGS3(didn't like the blue one), but had to exchange it due a faulty speaker and got the gray one instead and like it better. Looks classy. But should I start to hate color, I can always buy a book cover for it if they become available sometime soon(december 2013 maybe)

Hey guys,
Not trolling here, as I'm betting this topic has been beaten to death 6 pages down the forum, but it still puzzles me greatly.
Black or white?
To my eye, black is more sleek and serious, white (silver) is more fancy. How are your experiences in terms of build quality of both? Is it true that black smudges with fingerprints easily, and how view-able are they? Scratch/chip wise, how do both phones behave?
Any honest opinion, I would kill for. Thanks for your time lads.
Think of it like a car. White cars you have a tough time see scratches, but you can tell when it's dirty quicker. Black is the opposite.
i started off determined i wanted black, as I've been using a white SGS3 and I hate the white look in general, but I went to the store to see what it was like in person and it was nothing like I imagined. The black is very matte and not a deep black like i expected. The white (actually silver) on the other hand looks much better in person IMHO.
All in all, you really need to see the product yourself to decide. My Best Buy had both on display for me to check out. As someone who enjoyed the iphone 5 in black, the htc one's black model does not resemble it much at all and ends up looking a little bit cheaper to me. I'm going to end up getting the silver model.
silver color is good...
the metal underneath both finishes is silver. if you nick the black finish you will see silver. if you nick the silver finish, you will see more silver. which situation is more noticeable?
personally i believe a) if you could somehow keep your phone from getting dinged, black looks cool (even if it is more of a charcoal gray and not exactly black) and b) putting a great-looking and -feeling phone in a case is a waste of good design unless you expect to drop your phone at some point and/or care about resale value. (and besides if you have a case on your phone, the case obscures much of the phone's original finish anyway.)
because i am a) pretty sure my phone will experience a little wear and tear and yet b) i would prefer to use it without a case, i am guessing silver will make me happier in the long run even if black seems slightly more appealing now. and i mean *slightly* : honestly , both look good.
oh and it's not clear if the developer edition will ever come in black. HTC is saying no for now. not sure what to expect later on though.
black one gonna give lots of residual + finger prints in future usage. U will notice it really much, but if you going to get the case doesn't matter, silver looks more stylish and appealing high end device in your hand.
I have the black One and I am very happy about it. Had it 10 days now and only one tiny noticeable scratch at the top edge. Very very small one and easily covered by a black marker.
I have to day, I don't regret getting the black at all, it's so cool and stylish IMHO. It does attract more fingerprints but wipe it wit.your cloth easily clean it, I was a bit worried but not anymore since I.actually got the phone.
Of course, I don't abuse my phone, but don't avoid using it, it's always naked in my.pocket alone.
Oh, the back is quite durable I dropped it from knee high and.it landed on the back on wood floor, not a single mark.
Silver, ive had black phones all my life, its time for a change
i have a black car too..
I went for Silver too, never been a big fan of black phones. Or white ones, for that matter! really like the brown Galaxy S3 my girlfriend uses, and my old Desire HD had a bit do a brownish tint to it. Only had my silver One for a couple of hours so far, but it's stunning - very happy with it and it frames the display nicely. one day when we have true edge-to-edge displays then black would look amazing, but until then I think I'd prefer a silver, grey or brown.

I like white phones but I rely on the LED notification a lot!
I notice that on black phones the notification led seems more pronounced with the darker surrounding background, on my white S4 I sometimes miss it when I glance at the phone from a distance.
Stupid reason from some but it's a real good reason to choose black for me.

I'm thinking white, my Iphone 5 is white and has the same black bezel around the screen, making it look smaller, but I don't really mind.
White looks a bit more trendy and different. I've only had grey/black phones so up until now and I'm in love with the iphone's white looks. The G2 looks really nice in white too - grabs more attention.
Only one thing - do you think the silver paint on the back buttons might wear out faster?
I own a white G2, I have bought this case for it.
The white looks great, but beware! If you plan to get the same case (which is awesome btw) or any other white rubber case, it will slowly turn into any color it touches the most. Eg. mine is slowly turning into blue, because of my blue jeans! I keep it in my pocket.
Doesn't look that bad, but maybe some will hate it!

Hey guys, I am struggling to decide on which color to import. I have traditionally always had black phones, but the white body in screenshots at least looks really good.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to going white vs. black with the Z3c?
I've always had black phones too. I bought a used white moto x a couple months back. I love it more and more every day. I definitely getting the white z3c. The black one just looks boring.
I went for the white one. Have had several black phones and wanted a change. Would have done the red / orange model but the black bezel looks tacky to me.
I did white too. Should shoe fewer fingerprints than black.

I went for Black - looks more professional. I like keeping my phones in cases anyway though
I went for black, never had a white phone, although I do have a niggling feeling perhaps I should have tried white, it does look good.
I ordered the white one. I changed it to the red one awhile later. I saw a video of the black one and it looks really classy to me so I changed my order to black :laugh:
I originally wanted the mandarin red, then saw some videos of the mint green and thought that would be really cool, but unfortunately, the green won't be available unlocked for some time yet. After hearing more testimonials about the red and how brilliant it was, I'm convinced it's the right choice. Basically, I wanted anything other than black and white because as safe, classy, and sleek as those choices are, I find them to be rather bland. If I had to choose though, I'd go with white, only because most of my devices have always been black and I wanted something different.
I had a Z1c in black for quite sometimes and bought my brother the Z1c in white and gotta say the white does looks really good. But currently can not really say much about the z3c as it is not available yet in Australia. The best way would have to go and look for yourself which one would suit your taste better. But i would say the white looks good on picture. The only that might be a concern that is the seal around the screen is white as well, just do not know would it be stain over time

TBH I don't get your question at all, since it's purely opinion based.
If there would be a technical difference based on the color, most people would get the color that had the technical upper hand.
You don't ask your friends either if you should have a blonde/brunette girlfriend/boyfriend, since it's all just based on taste.:angel:
You are absolutely right but you have to understand that we are all really excited about this phone and we just discuss all kinds of bul**** about it until the delivery agent rings the doorbell and leaves the white box in our hands...

I prefer black because I don't like how the sensor cutout, speaker, and camera lens standout on white.
If I could get black front and white back like my Dev moto x, that would be awesome. I guess I can still do that with a white skin for the back.

Not necessarily. White will show less fingerprints, but might discolor over time. There are a few objective traits each color exhibit, and since I feel torn between the two aesthetically, I wanted to discuss some objective reasons one color might benefit over the other.

it won`t.
At least it didn`t on my white Z.
I think another disadvantage of a white one would be the white front panel making the display appear darker, I think in sunny weather the white could actually "blind" you a little, making the screen a tad more difficult to read.
I've occasionally had overheating problems with sunlight coming in through a car window. White might be helpful.

I'm going to buy LG G2 soon and I was 100% sure that I will get the white color but alot of people said that they have a black version or would go for a black if they were to choose. So now Im not sure which one to get.
For me personally the white one looks more premium and the big display pops out even more than on the black version. Also the fingerprints wont show as much as on the black one. The black one looks kinda ordinary, like every other phone.
But what do you think?
Personally I prefer Black, but currently the G2 I have (LS980 Sprint variant) is white. I got it for a great price so, I couldn't pass that up just 'cause of the damned color of the device.
But by all means, Black all the way... just my opinion, of course.
As far as the G2 looking "ordinary," obviously once you get it you'll realize soon enough that it's the most unique smartphone to come out in many years. How many other smartphones have zero side buttons at all? Zero, that's how many... except the G3.
I love my white one, and agree with you about the plusses of the white. Also, it shows off the thin bezel better.

And how do you like the white one? Did you get used to it over some time?
Of course I mean just the black color, like most of the phones are black maybe thats why the white one looks differend. But G2 by itself is an unordinary phone The edge to edge display looks just amazing on that body And the back buttons are interesting, I'm used to buttons on the side and top so I'm kind of curious if I will get used to them But we will see.
Thank you both for anwering

Thank you, yeah on the black one you actually cant see as clearly how big the display is. But its because of the contrast that the white one looks better.
Personally I think the back buttons could look better, if they would be black like they are on the red or gold variants, it would be perfect. But its a phone, so you will barely look at the back. So it kinda doesnt matter. Front is most important

Doesn't really matter to me I suppose since I keep it inside the TPU of the Slim Armor case and I hardly ever have the bare phone in my hand for whatever reason. I just prefer Black as a color - to me it looks better on the face of the device with the display being the only thing that should be "lit up" or bright in color. Just a personal preference, nothing more.
Yes you are right, I will use a case too so it doesnt matter that much anyway. I have bought a flip case and some ultra thin case, looks cool Yea actually as you said, it looks good when its all black and only the display lits up. Both colors look good for me.
Btw, do you guys use screen protector?
i got black one..maybe white is more modern but black gives it more.. how i can say..prestige dunno lol..well mostly i got black cause i play games also and in my opinion colors on screen look better with black than on white.. you know the contrast on the eye..using a spigen slim armor now and looks great.
I preferred the white over the black. It really boils down to personal preference. You could get a black case, the combo makes the phone pop.
I have a Zagg screen protector on mines. I got it at radio shack for like $3.00

Yes I think I know what you mean, some people said to me it looks more "elegant" to them. But I think so does a white one, for me even more elegant Well the display is perfect so I dont think it will be a difference. Just that on white one you can see the frame of the display. Ortherwise it should be the same.
Where did you get spigen case btw? Is it original or fake one?

Yes me too. I bought a transparent ultra slim case, which will go also well with the white, but maybe I will get a black one as well. I also bought a flip case, so I will have to try both to see which is better. And I was also thinking about spigen case, it looks really cool and it should protect the phone a lot more than others cheap and thin cases.
Which cases do you have?
Anyway I will go for white I think. Everytime I see the picture of it I just have to have it

I ended up with the Incipio DualPro. Doesn't add much bulk and feels good in the hands. The only thing I had heard about the Incipio was to stay away from the white case, It gets dirty easily.
Thats probably a good thing to do in general, to stay away from white cases But i would get the spigen one instead of incipio. This one looks kinda ordinary. And black color. White phone + black case = the best combo
